Hi, 4 quick questions. I already have open-wrt on 5 routers in my house so am used to the platform.

1. Does the pre-built image you provide include Chirpstack for running the device locally?
2. I future proofed the device with a mobile phone SIM card option. I think this is available in OpenWRT (although I don’t use). Does the open source firmware keep this functionality?
3. none of the routers I have have Bluetooth. Do I lose this function or does it appear as a radio on OpenWRT?
4. is there a way to backup my current Chirpstack setup or do I have to recreate it?
   Thanks!

1. this iamge does not include the local ChirpStack server
2. yes
3. could you clarify a bit more what you mean? gateway doesn't have a Bluetooth
4. you mean to export the setup? refer to : https://www.chirpstack.io/docs/chirpstack/api/api.html

3 was my mistake. I misremembered the process for setting up the device as Bluetooth like most of my devices, but it is just Wifiand a blue icon.
I was actually thinking that I never use the networking capabilities (eg. TTN) so I might as well just install chirpstack, so this is like the reverse of what I want. Guessing I just make my own version using the Chirpstack GitHub? I've never been to their GitHub, but I know Chirpstack isn't a normal OpenWRT package as I've looked.

What I meant by 4 was that I have 4 devices/applications on chirpstack can I move them to a new setup without going through the setup process again? With a cloud based service I guess most of the work is outside and saved but I would be deleting everything.
